Pros:
-CHEAP! Only expensive thing is the Surrender shield, 5-Link viable
-High clearspeed in maps
-High survivalbility
-Simple to play
-Can do most map mods, even phys/elemental reflect maps
-Cheaper compare to ES buildCons:
-Cant run reduce armour/block map mod
-Life based
-Require Chayula unique shield to be this tanky as a Life Build

I choose Gladiator because of easy setup max block 75/75 and also have alternative+better explosion effect 10% monster hp from Gratuitous Violence compared to Abyssal Cry 8%. Plus you no need to spam warcry like Abyssal Cry build does to have proc-explosion effect, is a passive.

I choose Sword because to get more bleed chance and also more accuracy to crit, no need Resolute Technique

Passive Tree

Spoiler

Bandit: Kill All for 2 passive pointsLevel 90:https://goo.gl/CfBP933% more shield block from three jewels

This is a good alternate version Aegis Aurora shield that gain life instead of energy shield

-Use this to get more life, more defensive.
-If you think you have enough life then use The Brass Dome.
-Or choose Carcass Jack for offensive option.

My Current Gear

"

If want to wear The Anvil
You need to sacrifice Blasphemy and Vulnerability gem that require high INT which also sacrifice DPS from it, then replace with Herald of Ash and Arctic Armour together with Enlighten gem to have a little space for mana

"

Ascendancy Choices(3.2)
-Currently choosing Gratuitous Violence path is because of easy setup gear with higher clear speed explosions
-If you want greater block(82%) but you still want to have bleed-explosion effect, you could pick Violent Retaliation giving up Gratuitous Violence then wear Haemophilia unique glove to have the same effect but slightly less powerful than the ascendancy node had
-If you already playing with Haemophilia but doesn't care about having high block chance(remain 75%), you could spend your point toward Outmatch and Outcast to have 10% more dmg and Blood in the Eyes for bleed effectiveness.

Version Changes

Spoiler

3.2 Update

Spoiler

Overall gladiator ascendancy got buffed a lot making all of it's node are worth to take, thus it gives us more option to decide how we wanna play our builds.

3.0 Update

Spoiler

Skill tree changes:
* Path to Razor Edge: Gain more 10% chance to bleed, is always GOOD
* Adding bleed cluster nodes around duelist, very useful =D might take one of those bleed wheel by sacrificing Storm Arm path

Overall this build get buff a bit as we get more bleed chance =D More proc chance!

For the new skill gems that only benefit us is:Chance to Bleed Ya is good to have more chance to bleed to proc explosion more often but ... not work replacing our DPS support gemsBrutality only very useful if you're playing pure phys buildMaim on Hit doesn't benefit much on our buildRuthless is a really good leveling support gem, not for end game though cuz other gem scale more than this
